Malaysianspeak- Lah

Image
Definition: A Manglish particle used primarily at the end of sentences to affirm a point or statement. Also to add weight to a sentence not unlike an exclamation mark. Malaysian Usage: i) Ya lah ii) No lah iii) Economy bad lah iv) Petrol price down lah v) Go mamak lah vi) Virtually with anything Example: a) He's getting married lah. No more crazy nights out already. It's parenthood and Pampers for him now lah! b) Yeah lah, she's like that one. You can't save a damsel who likes her distress lah. c) Your fault lah! Who asked you to come late? Conclusion Lah is ubiquitously used in the Malaysian lexicon.

Religions preach of what’s right & wrong, whereas some politicians don’t practice what they preach at all. Religions can create extremists & fanatics. Politics can too. However, both have different purposes & ideologies. Put two & two together,.…boom!! All/some religions have a holy book. The teachings of a religion & Holy Scri
